You can get “nuked” which means that your comments are sort of grayed and you can only post a comment every 5 min and theres some other reduced functionality on the account. No messaging. All your points are deleted and they give you negative points : -60 or -150 or whatever. Seems completey arbitrary based on how big of an asshole admin wants to be that day.
You can also get banned which means you are never going to be able to use this or any other account on the site. Also arbitrary as fuck.
Dont interact in anyway with the admin. Dont confront him with any complaint. Dont disagree with him in any way. Dont down vote ever. I rarely downvoted and I do not troll people or have 3 other alts. But I have been nuked. Ive seen some nice people get nuked or banned for no reason.
I noticed the same shit early on. Really makes one wish there were other legit free speech sites. The only person I've downvoted is the egomaniac of an admin. With the back to back server moves last month it pretty much proves your statement. One admin posted the server was moving, the other stated some nonsense about updates or a reset or something. I've gotten to the point I mostly just log in for a quick update to the news anymore. No sense in posting and giving them any other info. I rarely even upvote any more either.
